V. of O. Library Phones Don't Work For Lack Of Tubes I The surprise of having tele phones Sunday morning on aris- iiy» proved to be a “dud” as far as this area was concerned. The new dial system had mechanical trouble in (hat the trunk line did not work. Some of the radio like tubes were bad, and the mechanism had to be sent to San Francisco for repairs. Operators were called back to duty Monday for the old man ually-operated phones. However, today is expected to be the red letter day, according to Mr. Mc- Bridge, district manager who was in the area Monday. “These wore sent to us, said to be ready for installation. It was not for quite a time that the difficulty was discovered, as workmen worked practically all night to make the cut-over.’’ he told the Pilot. “After this mechanism has been repaired, I do not think this dis trict will have any more trouble. You will like your dial phones much better than the old type, after you become accustomed to using them. Really service will be much improved < When asked about telegrams Mr. McBride said: “They will be telephoned to the subscriber im mediately upon receipt. To those who have no phones, they will be put in the mail. Telegrams are just as easily sent by dialing ‘O’ for operator, and giving the message. “If the subscribers think they ha\e had all the headaches, 1 would like to point out « the company has had in obtain ing this equipment under the cir cumstances we have, and of be ing able to get all of it installed,’’ ^he concluded.
